In time, the general appeared to honorably give up trying to pander. Last month, after the Justice Department indicted 13 Russians for interfering in the 2016 U.S. election, General McMaster angered Mr. Trump by stating publicly, at a major security conference in Germany, that the evidence was “incontrovertible.” Further enraging Mr. Trump, the general took to privately consulting Susan Rice, his predecessor as national security adviser during President Obama’s second term and a regular target of Trump administration ire.

The U.S. and its allies have “failed to impose sufficient costs” against Russia for its recent aggressions around the world. Those were the words of National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster Tuesday, in his last public speech before stepping down April 9.

President Donald Trump’s top security official said the lack of consequences has emboldened Russian President Vladimir Putin.

McMaster laid the blame for costly attacks in cyberspace and the use of “a military-grade nerve agent in an attempted murder” in the UK last month at Putin’s feet. He spoke during an address at an Atlantic Council dinner in Washington D.C.
